Michael Young Requests Trade, We Request 5th Starter

A 4th starter would be nice too
So those Michael Young rumors which seemed ludicrous at first suddenly have some substance to them as he has requested a trade after bristling at the idea of a position change. Young is a poor defensive SS, despite his recent Gold Glove win, and carries a prohibitively large contract.
If we're to believe Kenny Williams that the Sox are bumping up against their payroll ceiling, I don't think there's any reasonable way to make a payroll neutral trade for Young that will make the '09 club better. Nevertheless, with multiple outlets reporting on the Sox interest, and Williams propensity to surprise, I'm obligated to make a post about it.

I'll pass on Young
At his salary & number of years left, doesn’t seem like a great fit.
Still hoping for Kenny to pull a CF/Leadoff option out of his hat and at least a Garland/Garcia type signing, but we’ll see…

Just what the Sox need-Another Middle Infielder
Unless Young wants to come play center field, I say pass. How many shortstops and second basemen can one team have?
The Sox need someone in CENTER. Not short, not second, not first but CENTER.
Someone call Tampa and see if carl Crawford is available.

I heard Anderson was solid on defense… but that could be a rumor. The question is there enough hitting around him to absorb his .230 – .240 ave with a poor OBP. But that could all be rumors and bad judgement on what I’ve seen of him in the field.

Goes against the "getting younger" mantra -
though KenWo might be confused since his name IS “Young”. He isn’t “young” chronologically. If we wanted a middle-aging SS we would’ve kept OrCa. And we know how valuable those gold Glove awards are in determining fielding prowess – why, look at all of them that D. Jeter has!

Ok lets not get ridiculous...
last year was the first year since 2003 that he didn’t hit .300. However, he still hit .284 with 183 hits…(he had 200 every year from 2003-2007)…. He still ripped 36 doubles and knocked in 82 RBI. It’s only been one year that he had a “down” year…and it wasn’t even really a down year compared to most middle infielders in the league. Yes his contract calls for a lot of money but I think he will be a productive hitter for at least 3-4 more years. It isn’t like he is crap for goodness sake.

If you're trying to make a case for Young...
At least mention that he had a fractured ring finger last year that might have contributed to his downturn in performance.
Regardless, he’s at the age where a lot of middle infielders break down. On top of that, he’s awful defensively, and on top of that, he’s going to make $13 million for the next five years. It seems like a no-brainer to avoid him.

We just don’t think he’s going to be worth anywhere near 13 million a year over the next 5 years. What he’s done in the past has nothing to do with what we are trading for. He’s getting older, he’s a middle infielder, he’s got a huge contract.

He’s got the height, and a wide enough frame that he can bulk up to be a decent blocker too, he’s not Antonio Gates or anything, but he can be a serviceable tight end in my opinion.

Firstly, I have to say that I even consider taking his contract but if the Sox were to consider it this is what I think they should tell Texas:
He’s owed $ 62 mil. over 5 years. You pay half and we send you Jose Contreras and Mike MacDougal.
Young refuses to play 3b so he’d have to play 2B in 2009. This holds back either Getz or Lillibridge. 2010 will really be a logjam with Beckham coming. So, it’s not an enviable position.
Under these circumstances, I don’t think there’s anything to this rumor. I think the internet age is allowing people to recklessly spread anything.

That's not enough money eaten over enough years
It’s not even worth discussing. Larry’s right that Young’s contract is a strong contender for worst in baseball. These are Young’s age 32 through 37 seasons. In even just 2 or 3 years, you have to wonder if he won’t be close to replacement level on offense given his diving OPS. Being on the hook for those seasons for any significant money, let alone $12.5M a year make this simply ridiculous. Even if the Rangers kick in 12M it’s still a horrible contract.
Williams would never sign a FA to a contract like this, which makes me strongly hope that he won’t give up talent to acquire it.

Agree,
A move to 3B would be best, but even then it’s an albatross of a contract. By a factor of 2 or 3 X, right?

All the more reason to stay away.
He doesn’t fit the plan that Kenny is saying the Sox are working towards. I think we have enough options at SS and 3B at very reasonable salaries. He needs to concentrate on the OF and a short term solution to the end of the rotation.

good old Sally league thirsty thursdays
Once during the second inning of a Thirsty Thursday game when I was playing first base, there was a pop fly that I missed so I was getting harassed for that for the next four innings. Then a ground ball hot shot went right between my legs and it got to the point where I didn’t even want to go back out there.
Grayson stadium in Savannah had thirsty thursdays -and tuesdays. The place would be packed, occasionally we would try to pound a beer an inning, a tough chore even when they shrank from 32 oz. to 22oz. I think the most I ever managed was 7.. Most people were there for the booze of course, I remember Ryan Zimmerman coming up to the dish and needing a HR for the cycle for the Sand Gnats. I think I was the only one who realized it in the stands. He struck out swinging his ass off. Homered the next night though. A month later he went from the low A SandGnats to the Nationals in the show.

young
MONDAY, 8:35am: More on the topic of Young asking for a trade. Young is upset that he wasn’t given a choice about the position switch, saying, “My hand’s been forced with this one.” He says he’s “adamant” about not playing third base. Young has given the Rangers a list of teams to which he’ll accept a trade, according to the Dallas Morning News. He’d consider a move back to second base for a new team. Young is owed $62MM over the next five seasons.

koala bears are retards
Way back in the day of vhs movie rental stores, but before they were corporations, I entered a contest at one for a free trip to Australia and forgot all about it.
Three months later, I got a box in the mail, opened it, and there was this furry thing completely filling it up. There was no return address, I thought some sick fuck mailed me a dead raccoon or squirrel or something.
Freaked out for a good 30 seconds, it didnt reek of death so I picked it up, only to find out it was a stuffed animal koala bear face down. It was like 4th prize for the contest or something.
Later that day, my dog ripped it to shreds.

Rickey won't be unanimous:
A guy WU’s age “forgot” about his career:
To wit, the former Tucscon Citizen writer is old, he didn’t give due diligence and he’s also just a bit batty.
Let’s go to his MLB-a-Culpa, shall we?
From the Oakland Tribune:
“If I had properly researched the situation, I would have voted for Rickey Henderson if for no other reason than he played for nine ball teams,” he said. "Imagine that. He’ll be the first Hall of Famer to have a bronze bust with nine caps stacked on his head.
“He was a wonderful player and I simply goofed. I voted for eight deserving men. I could have picked two more — and I wish to heck I had.”
The best part, of course, is the “if for no other reason than he played for nine ball teams,” a line that should have Mike Morgan dusting off his resume. (He played for 12 different teams!)
Also, it should be noted that when a co-worker pointed out that he had left Rickey off the ballot, Simpson said he “wasn’t a Rickey guy and that he would vote for him next time.”
To paraphrase a line from my boss this morning: “Save us, FJM. You’re our only hope.”

Joe Sheehan weighs in on Rice's election.
And, no, I am not providing a link. Spend the $39.99 to subscribe!
The leap in Rice’s vote totals is reflective of a generational change within the voting pool. You have to be a ten-year member of the BBWAA to get a vote, so new voters in the mid-2000s would have started writing in the mid-1990s, and they’d be…well, they’d be about my age. They’d have grown up watching Jim Rice, and they’d remember, even more than the people covering him, the stories about his prowess. They weren’t making the myth, they were the ones swallowing it whole.

Barry Larkin was a hell of a player.
I think he should get in and Robby Alomar should get in. I hope Harold continues to stay on the ballot with the addition of Edgar Martinez. Maybe the few people backing Baines will jump ship to back Edgar. I hope not.
I think the Jim Rice addition is pretty bad- not in the fact that Rice is in- but Albert Belle was left off the ballot in his 2nd time around? Dave Parker barely gets any votes? Harold Baines is at 5 percent? All of these guys were just as good as Rice in my opinion.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said a heavyset man with a visible potbelly unsuccessfully tried to steal two different ATMs over the past two weeks. Security video from the ATMs showed the unidentified man dressed in a black ninja outfit with a hood that showed only his eyes.

As I suspected even Jose has lived up to his contract for the most part.

My interaction with Rickey Henderson.....
It was the 2000 playoffs… I got into a verbal grudge match with Rickey about how the Sox are going to wreck Seattle….after Rickey said the Sox have no chance (damn he was right) I proceeded to say how old he was and he should retire…. and he said “I was an all star when you were in your daddy’s nut sack”. He was a year off. I always liked Rickey. I used to wear those green and white Mizuno batting gloves when i was winning all of my little league titles.

Yeah, the math doesn't exactly work there.
9 years ago (generous), Little League age is 14-ish, KenWo says he’s 28 now.
Or maybe he was really 20 years old, playing Little League? That would account for all the titles.

rickey was never exactly shy with hecklers. he was the greatest of all time, after all.

Yeah, I doubt KenWo was in an opposing dugout, acting the bench jockey role.

it was during batting practice... i got into the first row in left and yelled and he came out to the warning track
It wasn’t really a shouting match…just some good natured fun.
At least Larry has obviously been to a game unlike the rest of you who have never interacted with players.
